Is there such a thing as a plugin or hardware amp simulator that actually delivers professional quality on heavy guitars? Volume levels are not an issue for me with recording, so I tried miking a pretty loud Marshall with 1 12" and experimenting EXTENSIVELY with mike placement-terrible results. I've tried Revalver and a couple plugin demos, but they don't match my Behringer Vamp, which only cost me $130 new!
I liked it better than the POD.
When I listen to my recordings, and then stuff on the radio, I'm shocked at how much better they sound than me. I feel like I just want to quit recording.As good as the Vamp is, it still doesn't seem professional to me.
Do I have to go to a studio? Has anyone out there been blown away by the realism of some simulator plugin, or piece of hardware? What about sansamp? Is the hardware verion better than the plugin?
Thanks.......
